Beta5 does not like my Thinkpad. I had trouble again with the save file. So I did a clean wipe, and did a new install and only Firefox installed and I can't get it to save at first boot. It goes through steps and just stays in saving but never shuts down and won't reboot. I tried different sizes of save file too.

On forced reboot, the USB stick was showing as corrupted. I had to boot into Windows on my main computer ( I usually use OS X) to do a low level format on the USB stick. I am back to 13.04 beta2 for now.

---I get 50% CPU usage with Firefox playing a Youtube video at 360p. How is your Thinkpad with video, I'm thinking of bumping up to a T60/61/X60? Most people on the Thinkpad forums use Windows, so comparisons aren't the same.

Some problems too, I can't get wireless connection ; failed to raise interface wlan0. Error! ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS; No such file or directory.

Somehow, I find that lxpup 1212 is better for my low power acer one happy2 netbook. i really think Lxpup 1212 is one of the best puppy i have used. Anyway, the lxpup 13 is still in beta stage so I don't know yet if it can become better than Lxpup1212. It is hard to imagine anything better than Lxpup1212.

Did you try LX 13.01, the current stable version? It is a little bit newer kernel and applications thant LX 12.12.

I went back to it for now since the 13.04 beta5 was giving me trouble with Pidgin and VLC. My specs on my laptop don't seem to different from your Acer laptop.

Hi Jerome,

I have tried your Lxpup 13.04 beta5.

Yes, LX 13.01 is non-PAE. I too suffer from the non-PAE blues. I understand the Full size distros going non-PAE, but I find it weird that many of the newest Puppies made are PAE only.

Hi, depending on the Linux distro, mosts presets when you compile kernel are for SMP and PAE. As many small distros are derivatives, pupplets or others, they acquire the same kernel that was used in main distro and inherits the same settings. Very very few people recompile kernel and reinstall new kernel, they just follow automatic upgrade for instance on Ubuntu, kernel upgrades are automagic and inherits the same settings as your running kernel (this can be easily changed, but again no-one cares)

Today I have time, and I wanted to say hello! I took the opportunity to make some changes on lxpup. Back to basics with the basic kernel 3.2, which worked so well. I admit that this is late, but I caught up. The core is still without the PAE module. Some modifications, with an appearance like gnome. Several dependencies were added and updated. VLC 2.0.7 is available, I think about Natgab, I hope it will work seamlessly. Normally I tried it and it happens. Someone can confirm me please? I hope that this time will be okay. I submitted some pictures to illustrate my point. The DevX is also available.
I confess that I do my best to be present, solve problems faster, even though I am far from a satisfactory result.

Have a nice day !

Just saw your post in the morning and was happy to see a new version out . So far everything is working. Abiword / Gnumeric, Firefox, tested the GIMP SFS. I took a screenshot of VLC, tested with some Flash videos and MP4 I had.

Personally, I don't miss the dock the Beta 5 had installed. I have a dock on my Mac desktop and like having something different here in my laptop. I also moved the desktop switcher to the top bar and removed the bottom bar.

Seems to be as stable as Beta 2, great work !

EDIT: I can't get Pidgin to work. Tried both version 2.10.6 and 2.10.7.
